[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was 16 years ago and long before the thought of a pandemic but DH became the most protective and paranoid father on the planet. We were living in NYC and he was in law enforcement the time. - he put a bike helmet on the baby whenever we took the subway. - he wouldn’t let anyone near her in public (fear of colds). - we never once went out without her as he didn’t trust babysitters - he hauled her crib and changing dresser up to the roof of our building to “off-gas” He was nuts. I just let him do what he needed to do and he eventually calmed down. [/quote] Agree with you in the sense that covid is a red herring here. There has always been differences in parenting styles and risk tolerance that parents need to negotiate. It’s not easy, but your ability to navigate your way to compromise, to be respectful of each of your viewpoints, to feel heard and acknowledged, etc are all key to successfully coparenting.[/quote]
